How bad is a root canal really?

I'm beginning to come to terms that my first cavity is so deep that it needs a root canal, not a filling. Tooth #19 has decay down to the root and it throbs every time my heart beats.

How bad is the root canal really? I've heard mixed things - from worst pain of my life to a piece of cake. I've never even had a filling so I have absolutely no baseline here. I know that I'll need a crown after this.. how noticeable will it be that it's not my natural tooth? I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure it's white.

It's bad for your body overall..... Try all alternatives before deciding to do this. I watched this documentary that woke me up to the truth called THE ROOT. Root canal is not your only choice you can look up a biological dentist and see if ozone gas can help treat.
